Graham backs interim Sharks coach Shepherd

Stand-in Cronulla captain Wade Graham says keeping interim coach James Shepherd at the helm for the rest of 2014 is the best outcome for the NRL club.

The Sharks board confirmed late on Wednesday that Shepherd would officially assume the role as head coach for the final seven matches of the season, having stepped up as caretaker when Peter Sharp resigned three weeks ago.
